This game brings out the kid in you [Posted on 2000-11-13]
This game is designed around realism that the true Nascar fan, and driver are looking for. It's vast amount of options give each skill level a challenge. WARNING: This game is addicting. Right away, you're going to feel like you're actually on the track. The 3D affects are very good, and the graphics are awesome. Don't consider buying the game though, unless you're going to also purchase a steering wheel, and pedals (sold seperately). Like any game on the market, there are room for some minor improvements, but don't let that stop you from experiencing the thrill of competing against others on the track. If you feel the need for speed, then this is the game for you. This is definately 5 star fun !
Fun for about 1 month [Posted on 2000-12-02]
This game reminds me of many toys that looked so fun when I was a kid, but when I got them the fun wore off about as fast as the flavor of chewing gum. At first it's fun to experience the feel of navigating around the Nascar tracks and finding the best racing line. Naturally, once you feel you can handle a car reasonably well, you'll want to race. This is where too many programming flaws render the game unenjoyable. The first main difficulty is that it's extremely difficult to judge, even with 3-D graphics, just how close objects are to your car. This difficulty will make ineffective any effort to find a competitive edge by pushing your car to the limit. You will invariably scrape walls and hit other cars, without improving judgement. Likewise, your pit stall is poorly marked, leaving another guessing game as to when to stop. A second major problem is that incorrect and often conflicting information provided by the crew chief and spotter frequently occur. For example, under yellow flag conditions you are told which car to stay behind, although you may hear two or three car numbers in one lap. Additionally, it is often impossible to find the car you are told to stay behind, even when you completely stop and wait for it. Yet, if you do stop and wait, cars that should stay behind you won't. The kicker is that you will receive a black flag penalty for not finding your correct spot in line. These and other problems add up eventually, and you may find yourself more annoyed then amused. I've now owned the product for about a year, and find no more pleasure in playing it. Adding in the cost of the obligatory 'joystick' wheel, this was an expensive lesson learned.
Best Nascar game yet [Posted on 2001-04-14]
Nascar Racing 3 is a very good simulation of Nascar Racing. Very highly detailed tracks to very real engine sounds. You are able to go into the pit and select right side tires, left sides tires, repair damage, etc. But there is one problem with the AI in the game. The AI is not very realistic. For instance, if I were going around the outside of somebody in a turn they would probably drift up and hit me. Over it is a classic so I recommend you purchase it.
not good enough [Posted on 2001-05-11]
This is a game with tracks too long and graphics which are too boring.

This game is AWESOME. One thing to remember though...it IS a computer game! It is as realistic as any PC based game can be. The speed and handling is extremely realistic. The beauty of this game is that you can set all of the handling properties of your car. Everything from individual tire pressures to trackbar adjustments can be made on your car in the "setup" area. You can even do custom paint schemes for your car. There are some things that take getting used to. Lining up after a yellow-flag is sometimes a challenge, but easy enough to figure out. I highly recommend this game. It will provide you with hours of entertainment!!
